Conclusion:
Somehow the experimental shootings are really full of obstacles as you can see first photo was not clear - a bit blur while the second one the lighting control is poor and result in overexposed effect at the bunny hat area and Cedric looks tanned in the photo.
Still a lot more to improve on the photography and I really hope when the days pass by, I really can have more passion in photography and making use of this skills on useful area.

Finally, I have figured out what is the +1 and -1 setting on my DSLR camera:
Exposure Compensation
"Exposure Compensation is a feature on a digital camera that allows you to adjust the shutter speed measured by its light meter. Usually, the range of adjustment goes from +2 to -2 EV in 1/3 steps.
Lets say that you point the camera at you subject and the meter says you need 1/250 sec. shutter speed at aperture 5.
If for whatever reason you select +1 exposure compensation, the shutter speed used by the camera will be 1/125 sec.
If you use -1 exposure compensation, the shutter speed will be 1/500 sec.
Every increment in exposure compensation (+2 +1 -1 -2) increases or decreases the amount of light going through the camera by a factor of 2. "
